Our 2 solutions to protect your books and decorate your bookcase
Protect your books and decorate your shelves with our films
As all book lovers know, a beautiful library is a precious treasure. But between dust, humidity and the sun's rays, your books can quickly become damaged. At Luminis Films, we have both aesthetic and protective solutions to care for your books while enhancing your interior. Find out how to protect your books while adding a touch of design to your space!
Why is protecting your books essential?
Reason number 1: The wear and tear of daily life.
Books are fragile. Pages turn yellow, covers warp and bindings deteriorate... And this can happen very quickly! Ambient humidity, UV rays and repeated handling can seriously damage your favorite books.
By protecting your books, you prolong their life and preserve their original appearance. And between you and me, it's always nicer to leaf through a novel in pristine condition, isn't it? 😉
Reason number 2: Preserve your rare and precious editions
If you have antique books, collectible comics or autographed works, it's even more important to preserve them. Appropriate protection helps maintain their value, both sentimental and financial. 💰
Reason 3: A well-maintained library, a lasting pleasure
A bookcase isn't just storage: it's a decorative element in its own right. When your books are neatly lined up, clean and protected, they immediately add character to your room. What's more, you'll always have the pleasure of plunging in again and again.
Mirror film: a touch of design and protection
Mirror film is a window film with a dual function: it protects and decorates. One side reflects light like a mirror, while the other lets light through. The result: your books are protected from UV rays and prying eyes, without darkening the room.
For example, our 3M-PRESTIGE-70x film effectively filters out harmful rays while allowing natural light to do its job.
Usage ideas for a modern or vintage effect
- Dress the glass of your bookcase with mirror film for a chic, designer look;
- Give your living room an industrial or retro style by playing with reflections;
- Create a cosy reading area protected from glare.
With mirror film, you can easily combine protection and aesthetics.
Adhesive coating: practical and attractive
- A simple solution for decorating book shelves and spines
Want to give your bookshelf a makeover without having to do any major work? Adhesive coating is for you! Easy to apply, it lets you personalize shelves, side panels or even the spines of your books.
- Resistant to moisture, dust and scratches
Our coverings, like BOIS1-2021 golden oak, are designed to last. They're easy to maintain, resistant to the little aggressions of everyday life, and guarantee you a flawless finish for a long time 💪.
- Wide choice of textures and patterns
Wood, marble, concrete, metal... there's something for every taste! Whether you prefer a warm or ultra-modern ambience, you're bound to find a pattern to match your decor. And why not mix styles for a unique effect?
